New 2015/2016 recent images. Plus a few overlooked past images. Mostly manatees in the Florida springs.

Manatee male and female couples and others display affection in the lovely Florida springs, kissing manatees, touching manatees, frisky manatees, cavorting manatees.

Varied manatee behaviors in the beautiful light of the warm Florida springs. Natural and undisturbed.

Portraits of manatees in vertical format, doing manatee things, gazing out at the viewer and being curious manatees.

Split half - half images showcase the best of terrestrial and underwater. Over / Under images give a unique perspective in picturing interaction with the beauty and tranquil nature of the Florida springs and how everything relates, manatees, people and other animals.

Passive observation of manatees in their natural habitat, no touching or disturbance by people on snorkel or in kayaks. Crystal River and Homosassa are the only places in the USA where swimming near manatees is legal. Rescued and rehabilitated manatees are released regularly in the springs, complete with tracking buoys.

Animals, fish and people in the tranquil Florida springs the photographer takes images of that are not manatees.

Manatee images offered as prints. I've proofed these and have an excellent printer who really reproduces these colors nicely! I will be adding a black and white soon also and more products. Manatees make great Christmas gifts! Any questions please email me: carol@oceangrant.com
